Two weeks of clear liquid ????????????



Recommended Posts

Okay, so I had the VSG on Monday the 24th...I'm on Clear Liquids for 14 days...I'm on day 7...I'm slowly losing my sanity because i can't leave the house until my post op visit this Thursday..I've tried a few different broths which nauseated me so much (beef and chicken boullion cubes boiled in Water and low sodium organic chicken broth) the smell and taste turns my stomach like you wouldn't believe...have any of you had strained wonton Soup broth without the stuff in it? Or even homemade/diner chicken soup broth strained? Please let me know..I'm dyinnng over here lol! I'm so miserable ????????????????

I added lots of pepper to my broth. Honestly I'm on day 6 and only had broth once I'm not a fan of it either.

Can you do SF popcicles? I would say 100% strained would be OK, but I would just double check with your NUT or surgeon to be sure.

You'll get through this girlfriend! I'm 7 months PO and honestly don't even remember those hell weeks! Totally worth it :)

Simmer the broth with dried rosemary and thyme and add a tsp. of Better than Bouillon. It tastes delicious that way.

Thank you everyone for your suggestions, my NUT just called me back ( feels so funny to call my nutritionist a nut haha) and she said yes to the broth from wonton Soup and homemade/restaurant chicken soup! Thank you baby Jesus! Lol! And yes I can have SF ice pops :) xo

Update! My parents brought home chicken Soup from the diner, I strained it through a very fine hole strainer and it went down beautifully and I am satisfied for the first time since surgery lol...I think the next 7 days of clear liquids will be more tolerable :)

Unsweetened applesauce has been my go to strangely enough, it's the only thing that has satisfied me so far so I'm afraid to try anything else.

Omg I thought I was the only one! The smell of the broth reminds me of my puppies food and just turns my stomach. I'm going to have my hubby get me my fav chicken Soup at the market and strain it otherwise I won't be able to eat and starve :( Thank goodness this phase is almost over!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
